FAQ
What is the NIE Verde?
The NIE Verde, or Green NIE, is a certificate of residency that proves you are legally residing in Spain. It includes your NIE number and states that you are registered with the Spanish Central Register of Foreign Nationals.
How is the NIE Verde different from the NIE number?
The NIE number is a tax identification number assigned to foreigners. The NIE Verde is a physical green card or certificate that indicates you hold residency status in Spain and have officially registered your NIE number.
Who needs to obtain the NIE Verde?
Any non-Spanish EU citizen who plans to reside in Spain for more than three months and engage in activities that require a form of identification, such as working or buying property, should obtain the NIE Verde.
What are the benefits of having the NIE Verde?
The NIE Verde allows you to work legally, access public healthcare and social services, register for utilities, buy property, and open a bank account. It's also a step toward long-term residency or Spanish citizenship.
What documents are required to apply for the NIE Verde?
Generally, you'll need your passport, proof of legal entry into Spain, proof of economic means, proof of healthcare insurance, and a completed application form. The exact documents can vary, so it's best to check with the local immigration office.
How long does it take to get the NIE Verde?
Processing times can vary depending on the region and the workload of the local immigration office. It generally takes a few weeks to a few months.

No, the NIE Verde can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary residency needs to be renewed periodically, while permanent residency is for those who have lived in Spain for an uninterrupted period of five years.
What if I lose my NIE Verde or it gets stolen?
You should report the loss or theft to the local police and then apply for a replacement at the nearest foreigner's office or police station that processes NIE applications.
